Chapter 42: Scaring off the tigress
The next day, at dawn, the tired tigress woke up hungry, and decided to go out and find something to eat, and when she had eaten and drunk enough, it was not too late to go to the fox friends and dogs to settle accounts.
The tigress staggered out of the hole, and pounced mercilessly on small animals that could be bullied and lone aquatic animals such as bison, wild deer, and wild sheep.
It didn't take long for the tigress to eat and drink enough, and then it was time to start her "revenge plan".
And at this moment, Hongxia'er and Red-Haired Daddy were too excited about yesterday's victory, they both drank and got drunk last night, and now they are still sleeping in the cave and dreaming. No one expected that a new crisis would come so quickly!
Suddenly, the little fox Sanmao ran out of breath from the back mountain to the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Oh no. The tiger is coming! ”
At this time, Hongxia'er just got up, and when she saw Sanmao, she asked, "Why did you run back again, still yelling, what do you want to do?" ”
Sanmao hurriedly said: "Mommy, I just wanted to come back to see you, but I didn't expect to find a tiger looking for something in the back mountain." So I hurried back and reported to you. ”
Hongxia'er was puzzled: "I just killed a tiger, why did I come again." You're sure you see it clearly. ”
Sanmao nodded and said, "I'm sure, it's really a tiger, 100% sure." ”
Hongxia'er said: "Good performance! If you know that there is a situation, you will come back and report it in time. Mommy praises you, don't go, just stay with me and help me. ”
Sanmao was overjoyed and said, "yes, Mommy, you're so nice." ”
Hongxia'er said, "Go and wake everyone up and gather in the big cave for a meeting." I'll go talk to my daddy. Then he got up and went to the red-haired father to discuss.
At this moment, the red-haired father was woken up by this startled voice, and hurriedly asked Hongxia'er what was going on.
Hongxia'er hurriedly said: "Another tiger has come here, maybe it is to avenge the previous tiger." ”
The red-haired father was surprised: "This is terrible." ”
Hongxia'er said, "Don't worry. Let me ask you Dad, did you lay a trap in the woods in the back mountain? ”
The red-haired father said, "Yes! Why did I forget about it? ”
"Where exactly?" Hongxia'er asked.
"It's in the grove where I often don't let people go." Red-haired dad said.
"That's it. Daddy, tell everyone to hide outside the cave immediately, so that the tiger will not find this cave and kill everyone. I'm going to act. Then, Hongxia'er turned around and went to find Wumao, Liumao, and Sanmao.
After finding them, Hongxia'er said, "Children, go with Mommy to play an 'empty city plan'." ”
Sanmao hurriedly asked: "What is the 'empty city plan'?" ”
"You'll know when the time comes." Hongxia'er said.
With her keen sense of smell and excellent judgment and tenacious perseverance, the tigress finally found Hongxia'er's nest after a lot of hardships.
However, the terrain here is very complicated (if it weren't complicated, the red-haired father would not have made his home here), so the tigress got lost in the back mountain woods.
At this moment, the tigress suddenly noticed that on a small flat ground outside the grove in front of her, a female fox was happily playing hide and seek with three little foxes......
The tigress thought to herself: It seems that this is probably the place where the fox friends who killed my husband live, and I came here to work, maybe they don't know how to work! Just look at how much fun they have. Yo Xi, I'll touch it quietly and give them a 'surprise attack'.
Thinking of this, the tigress's whole body trembled with excitement, and after calming down for a while, she raised her right front leg and left hind leg to prepare for departure.
At the moment when the tigress put down the two legs, suddenly, two two-meter-long bamboo sticks flew over at the same time in front and on the left, and the tigress hurriedly lay on the ground with her belly on the ground.
Although the tigress reacted quickly, she still let two large bamboo skewers shave off the two pieces of fleshy fur on the tigress's buttocks and back, and the pain made the tigress tremble all over.
The tigress finally understood that she might have fallen into a scheme, and that she could not stay here for a long time, and she thought unwillingly: this is a fox land, a great cunning, a great conscience, a bad land, and I will go back now, and when I finish giving birth to a baby, I will work again, and then come here to find you dead and dead.
Then the tigress turned and walked away.
Hongxia'er's courage and scheming to "plan to kill the male tiger" and "scare off the female tiger" have won everyone's respect and trust.
Soon, the news spread for dozens of miles around, and the animals were very afraid of it, and when they saw it coming, they all fled faster than rabbits like ghosts.
Once, Hongxia'er found that the red-haired father was actually sharpening bamboo with a short knife made of fine iron, and thought it was very strange, so she asked, "Daddy, where did you get this knife?" ”
The red-haired father said, "You're talking about this sharp weapon in my hand, right?" Actually, it was given to me by someone. ”
"Sent?" Hongxia'er asked, "Who will give it to you?" ”
"That was more than a decade ago." The red-haired father said, "At that time, I went out of the cave to collect medicine, and there was a medicine that was very rare and difficult to collect.
Just as I was about to go home, I suddenly heard someone shouting 'help' in the grove in front of me, so I ran over to see what was going on.
A young wild man was found fighting a mad boar, and another boar had died next to him, and the young wild man was already exhausted and covered in blood, and was clutching the two fangs of the wild boar with two hands.
Seeing this danger, I rushed forward and kicked the vicious boar to the ground with a sharp kick, and picked up a stick and struck it.
When the boar saw that the rescuers had arrived, he was so frightened that he fled.
The savage who I saved thanked me very much, and dragged me to his house as a guest.
So we carried the dead pig to his house not far away, and he and his family gave me a warm meal, and after the meal I found the knife in his house, and he gave it to me when he saw that I liked it very much.
He also said that the knife was made by a blacksmith in the village of savages, a primitive tribe, eighty miles ahead. ”
